What to expect from a contact lens eye test

Your optometrist will begin by assessing the health of your eyes, and will carry out specific measurements to determine the right size and shape of contact lenses to suit you. They will also assess your vision whilst wearing contacts, and may ask questions about your lifestyle and preferences in regards to lenses.
After testing, your optometrist will provide a unique contact lens prescription for your eyes. This will differ to a prescription for glasses, as a contact lens exam specifically measures for lenses that sit directly on your eye – rather than 12 or so millimetres away. It’s absolutely essential that you get the right contacts to fit this prescription. The wrong type of contact lenses can seriously damage your eye health.
Once you have the correct prescription for your contact lenses, you’ll need to decide on the type of lenses that you’d like to wear.

Choosing the right contact lenses for you

Contact lenses vary in terms of design, material and the levels of oxygen they allow through to your eyes. A free contact lens trial will help you decide which lens is right for you. This is so they can be manufactured to suit different prescriptions, eye shapes and preferences. Whilst some can be worn every day for up to a month, others are designed specifically for one-day wear, and some can only be worn while you sleep. With so many different options to choose from, it’s important that you know what to expect from each. Our free Contact Lens Experience is a great chance to discover which lenses are right for you.
